I've just remembered
when I was 18 and starting Uni, and in a long term relationship, and discovering sex, I used to go to the Brook Clinic for free condoms (I wish I still got free condoms instead of forking out around a quid per well-protected shag).

Anyway, to get into the Brook Clinic at Belfast I had to walk past Paisley's Free Presbyterians waving tracts and shouting, and the militant Catholics (including a friend of mine who would shut up as I walked by) handing out miraculous medals and thrusting pictures of aborted foeti in my face.

Yes, that's sensible. Protest against abortion by picketing teenagers on their way to get contraception. They really did not see the logic.
